CONTRACT AWARDED.

The Wichita Mining and Investment com
pany have decided to act according to the
directions of Mr.. W. D. Brewer, of Emporia,
the gentleman who found gas escaping from
the ground near ten miles east Of the city.
The location as given by him seems to coin
eide with the date gained by Major Knapp,
OF Ft. Scott, who spent few days in taking
field notes. The company also is encouraged
by him to sink well st the point selected by
Mr.. Brewer.
The contract for sinking the well has been
awarded TO Messrs. Tenant & Brady, who
had the contract for wen No. /. Since the
completion of that they moved the machin-
cry TO Colorado, and ere now about to finish
we'll there. 1t will be moved back for
sinking well No. 2. 1t is thought that In
fifteen days the machinery will be on hand
and it will not be long until work is com
menced.
The contractors do not anticipate as much
trouble in this well as in the first They are
now perfectly familiar with the formations
and will not so easily be the victims of a
surprise. The first was purely an accidental
effort, and the knowledge gained in it will
be Of good service to them in future work

FARMER BRUrALLY ASSAULTED.

Tuesday night a farmer named 0. T.
Wells, living near fifteen miles west Of the
city, was foully dealt with on the West Side
near one mile west Of Garfield University
Late in the afternoon he had brought to the
city some farm products for sale and wa;
unable to leave the city until late in the
evening. 1t was about dark when he reach.
ed the point mentioned when driving up to
two men in the road, who seemed to be busy
talking as he approached, they turned and
jumped into the wagon. They threw
Mr.. Wells down in the wagon bed
and beat him most numerically. At first
he commenced to yell hoping to bring aid
from some one but they soon cut off danger
in that source. After they had pounded
him to their hearts content they left and in
vited him to stay out Of the city.
Recovering to some extent he turned
around and drove back to the home Of an
acquaintance and friend on the West Side,
where he remained until yesterday having
for home early in the afternoon.
Mr. Wells stated tina. he did not know
positively who the men were. They did not
attempt to take anything from him but were
content with inficting bodily pain. He says
that if he is the man they intend to beat he
certainly thinks the two can be picked out
of three he may name. Those to whom he
referred were men who worked on his farm
and who left him on disagreement concern
ing business matters. While in the city
Tuesday he saw one OF them but did not
speak to him and says he don't know posi-
tivefy that the fellow saw him. He seems
to very strongly suspicion that his assailants
can be selected from the men to whom he re-
farc

SAID TO BE A LIE,

Mr.. Geo. c. Strong, on being questioned
yesterday concerning the equilibrium OF the
Wichita & Suburban track near the corner
of Fourth avenue ard Thirteenth street, stat
ed that it had not been disturbed by any one
and the report that the natives had removed
it was certainly untrue. He stated that the
track at first was put down wrong and WAS
taken UP by the company ard put down
again by the company without any assist
ance from volunteer aid.
1t is thought that the report and some 9TH
ers of a similar nature come from the same
fountain. The fountain is found in some
par ties whose pecuniary interests have so
much influence over their tongues as TO cause
it to work wrong on short order.

GUILD ENTERTAINMENT.

The ladies Of the Guild are spsring nc
pains to make the entertainment for next

to please, Miss Andrus, recently from the
Boston conservatory, and Mr.. Power from
Chicago
The beauty Of the historical and mytho-
logical tableaux will be heightened by cal
cium lights The tribute to the Minotaur
consisted Of the yearly sacrifice Of the most
beautiful of the Greek maidens. With this
thought in mind the ladies have been careful
those who will best represent them. The
tableau represents the boatman winding his
horn to announce the arrival Of the sacrifice.
Mrs. Walden, as Hypatia, and Mrs. Jack
son as Cleopatra, will, OF course, represent
those characters admirably. The following
Is the program which will probably be added

~ INSTRUMENTATION. .......-.... %
The cold snap caused many to predict that
brick laying this winter would not be as
common as during last winter. The indica-
tions 80 far have had tendency 30 hasten
work hoping to get outside walls completed
as early as possible.
The Sedgwick has nearly reached the third
story and each day finds the walls nearing
completion at rapid rate. The force is as
large as can be worked to advantage and
it is thought that by the LAST of the week
the third story will be completed. The
fourth and fifth stories will 60 up just as fast
as possible.
The Schweiter- Mossbacker building, on
East Douglas avenue, has reached the third
story. The stone front is certainly one of
the incest in the city. The third and fourth
stories will be finished by the tenth Of next
month.
| The walls of the Koenig block, on East
| Douglas avenue, are completed, and plaster
ing will be finished in a few days.
As the Fletcher block goes up it becomes
more and more evident that it will be one Of
ure is such as to elicit praises from everyone.
Strangers. especially, are seen when in eight
of the block to stop for some min
utes to take it in. and always
speak Of it as being one Of the finest
blocks they have seen in thewest. The walls
will in few days be completed to the fourth
story. 1t is hoped to finish the fifth before
cold weather comes to stay.
The five-story Morris block is being plas-
tered by large forcs Of hands and will be
ready for occupancy in few days.
The stone work of the arches over the en-
entrances to the first floor Of the Zimmerly
building is completed and a..very.beauti:ul and
attractive piece Of architecture they present.
The work upon this structure is being pushed
as rapidly as possible. Workmen at the
Zenninger block on North Market, were
putting the roof upon the structure yester-
day.
As fast as workmen and material can be |
found the Smith-Skinner block is |
going up. The floors for the
first and second stories are
are lain and brick work is well under way
upon the second story.
Building Oh the West Side is not allowed
to drag. The beautiful Palace block is very
near completed as is also the Sun flower block
across Chicago avenue. The large fine
Ma rtinson block is now being occupied with
